Somos Más Americanos Lyrics in English Los Tigres del Norte

“Somos Más Americanos” is a proud, foot-stomping response to anyone who tells Latin Americans they don’t belong in the United States. Los Tigres del Norte flip the script by reminding listeners that the border didn’t always exist—history shows the land itself was once Mexico’s. With sharp storytelling, they recount how Texas, California, and other states were taken, making today’s migrants “foreigners in their own land.” The song blends historical facts with fiery accordion riffs, transforming a lesson on the Mexican-American War into an anthem of resilience.

Far from a call to conflict, the lyrics celebrate hard-working people of every shade and trade, united by Indigenous, Spanish, and mixed roots. Los Tigres declare that, measured by centuries rather than passports, Latinos are even more American than many descendants of European settlers. The result is a catchy, defiant reminder that culture, history, and identity stretch far beyond any painted line.
